Of all the harmful pollutants found in our home and work environment, formaldehyde is the most prevalent. Produced by pressed wood products such as furniture and present in exhaust fumes, it is also emitted by heating and cooking fuels. As luck would have it, a plant that is particularly good at removing formaldehyde is both easy to look after and highly attractive: the Philodendron.

Native to Brazil, Philodendron Xanadu is a larger, cut-leaf Philodendron with mid green leaves sporting variedly scalloped edges, like a mask. It is a handsome variety, growing in a mounded shape upon thick woody stems. 

Philodendron means lover of trees and it is part of an enormous family of plants that were originally found in South America in the seventeenth century. The natural development of the plant is complex and explains its name, since the Philodendron’s life cycle evolves around the tree canopy and eventually the roots of the rainforest trees.
